You have convinced me more so that I should get one. I live alone, work from home and don’t need a guard dog, just a buddy.
Then you will be happy beyond belief!
So glad to hear it! Hope you have a great time welcoming you're new buddy into your home!
They're the best breed. I have one and I couldn't ask for a better companion.
I also don't need guard dog cuz i have security
I have a 13 year old Cavachon and he’s absolutely amazing. ❤️
Reason #1 - Because they’re the greatest dog ever and you’ll want 10 more!❤️
Exactly
Guys I have wanted a dog my whole life and now it's finally got a chance of happening. It would be helpful if you could answer a few questions about king Charles. First of all, I have a pet hamster, so would the dog be constantly trying to eat it? Also how would I be able to prevent a dog from putting my hamster in danger? Also my dog would be on its own for 6 hours a day, is that ok or is it not good enough. Lastly I'm wondering if dogs chew wires and if so how would I prevent it?
@@lukehiorns5079
1. King charles were originally bred as hunting dogs. They may be gentle but they are capable of rough play. They might accidentally kill your hamster even if they don't intend to. I don't think their intention is to "eat" it. They just want to hunt or play.
2. Your hamster will have to be caged at all times to ensure its safety. King charles won't try to break into the cages.
3. King charles are prone to separation anxiety. They prefer the company of their humans than other things. They hate being alone. 2 hours is long for them, but of course, you can always use positive reinforcement to get them used to your absence. I bring home treats for them when I have to work longer hours, so they have something to look forward to.
4. Get wire protectors. They're not expensive. I've had 3 King charles and none are interested in chewing wires after their teething stage is over (3-4 months old) so I don't think this is a big issue. I buy them deer bones and pig trotters to keep them occupied. It also helps with the separation anxiety thing.
They're awesome dogs. Very loving, friendly, and cheerful to everybody. I have other breeds but my heart goes to king charles always.
@@intjapan thank you so much for taking the time to answer. My mum is set on a king Charles spaniel rn lol. She is also working from home due to the coronavirus and she might be for the rest of her job but the only reason I asked you about leaving them home alone is in case my mum can't work from home anymore. We just need to figure out the finances of a dog and the overall best breed (which we are both almost sure on) and then we can take a puppy home after 12 years of wanting one! Again thanks so much for your help.
Seriously! I’ve been wanting a second Cavalier since the day we brought home our first one!
Reasons not to get one
You will fall in love with them totally
It will totally break your heart when they die
You will never forget the love they give
i don’t understand the hate on cavaliers. i love them to death
They aren't for people who work long hours away from home. I love my Cavi more than anything. She is the sweetest dog in the world, but would not be able to stay alone for long periods.
Hate? Where? In this video? As an cavalier owner he's spot on. Our dog hates it when we leave and we have to crate her otherwise she will literally use the house as a chew toy. She does like to "hunt" as we learned when she would let go of a baby bird she found. We left a gate open once and she ran and was so excited to smell and seek. Although her friendly side helped cause she ended up waiting at a house around the corner and was happy to do a sleep over with those strangers (haha). She can be a good "guard" dog because she loves to bark and gets excited by anyone at the door (or seen approaching)... But once they are in she's loving them and getting pet and licking.
Everything you said is spot on, but u would still recommend them.fkr all the opposite reasons, my king Charles Holly recently passed away and she was going on 12 and we are heartbroken.
@@naminexkh get a husband
Same I love cavaliers
The most affectionate dog I've ever had
I own a caviler and I just love her! She does love to be with me most of the day. I'm retired and this is want. She loves anyone who she meets. She is just a gentle doggie. She would make a great pet for anyone!!!
So trusting so gentle and not demanding other than your company
ac dog
#1. They are addictive. Also, they are the most awesome dog for writers or anyone working from home! (Tri-colors rock!)
Tri’s are the best.
🙏🏽 tri color fem here. she is a
amazing 🤩
Tricolor Boy named Puddles that is the definition of sweet and loyal❤
He is very accurate about the breed. We have owned two, and he nailed their demeanor and style perfectly. A heart of GOLD certainly describes our two Cavs!
One question-im thinking about getting one but I wanted to know if the grooming is expensive and what issues the dog might face if it's left alone in the house for too long
@@matthewbrolly please make sure to research all about their health risks. Such as syringomielia, etc. Even thoigh it might be sad, it's much better to be prepared with this knowledge.
I've had 3 cavs. They were the most wonderful fur babies I've ever had. They are far more loveable than humans.
Mist dogs are more loveable than many humans I've meet but they are the sweetest little things It took me 6 years to get over loosing my Ruby boy and I am just starting to look at breeders with a good health records for purchasing another beautiful fur baby. There is only one thing better than a Cavalier 2 Cavaliers (I had two puppies when I first fell in love with the breed)
@@christinewhite2718 yeah idk what I’ll do when my one passes away he’s getting old and I have lived nearly all of my life with him so I just can’t imagine losing him
Amen to that now days people want to control what you think or do now days
Are they ok with other animals in the house
@@jakemoore3233 I have 2 cats and my dog is fine. They sit together on the stairs. Most of what he said isn't true. They are also active and enjoy long walks.
My cavalier will be a lap dog all day or a wild dog all day... he does whatever I’m doing, however he gets the zummies often at night when I’m calm. I take him to state parks and he will pull me the entire 10 miles. The gentle leader collar helped with pulling, however he is extremely active. I wouldnt have any other dog breed! He is the sweetest, silkiest, and most beautiful dog ever!
@wandering_about dog trainers don’t generally help with pulling on leashes. I have an insane dog and we have trained her for years, but she is a farm dog, and she can’t fact the help that she pulls on walks. We have a gentle leader for her too. The gentle leader is basically like a harness. It just gently pulls her so she won’t pull as much. Also, please don’t judge people on ways they train they’re their animal. As long as theirselves and their dog are happy and healthy, it’s ok! The gentle leader looks like a muzzle, but it definitely isn’t. Please do not judge people for things like this, especially since their dog sounds like it’s completely fine.
wandering_about triggered bitch
Mine never is lap dog sadly
I would run 10 miles with my boy, he got tired around that mark so I would drop him off at home.
My dog is the sweetest you are right they can be a lap dog when they get old but when there really Intergenic my dog is a puppy there is not one thing I don’t like about the breed because they are the sweetest dogs ever the only thing I don’t like about the breed is they are impossible to potty train
consider i’ve had one for 12 yrs i love mine and he is amazing
This video is spot on..we have two Cavaliers, one is two years old and the other is 13 years old, the 13-year-old got much happier when we brought the new one home. But I made a mistake a few years ago and I yelled at my Cavalier, it was absolutely heartbreaking to see the hurt and how the negative reaction how the dog did not like being yelled at. I never did it again and I never do it again because I saw her eyes the hurt. They are incredible dogs, and they constantly sit on my lap every time I sit on the couch and I love it. These dogs are very sensitive and very loving, they are actually perfect.
I’m confused this top actually convinced me that I do want one...
Underrated comment
Me too …makes me want one even more lol
When my Girls were little, we hiked in the trails, ran on the beach and Maggie would go nuts for the ball. We went on some really long hikes. I didn't do it every day but they were really fun! Once they were about 7 or 8, they slowed down and of course at ten, they slept a lot and went on shorter walks until there health issues (heart murmer) and then hardly make it down the street. I Loved these dogs so much and I want more.....
OURS TO HAS HEART ISSUES TAKE MEDICATION BUT STILL ONE HELLUVA DOG LOVE HER
I'm thinking of getting a cavalier as an emotional support dog, so I guess It's the perfect choice of doggo :D
YES SIR, VERY INTELLIGENT!
My grandparents are retired and have a cavalier King Charles and she’s perfect for them, she loves to keep them company, not too active, and is overall such a sweetheart, right at home in their medium house/small yard.
I love mine and I’m the pickiest person on earth. Despite this video I recommend a Cavalier to anyone who prefers small dogs.
My childhood dog was a tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Choco. He was the kindest mannered and most affectionate dog I've ever encountered. Everyone who met him loved him, and he loved everyone he met . Like a lot of dog breeds however King Charles Spaniels have a litany of health issues that they are prone to. By age three he was deaf, by age four he had a heart murmur which only got worse, by age five we had to put drops in his eyes every day otherwise he would have gone blind. By age nine he had Cushings disease, back issues and many others. We cared for Choco as best as we could and always took him to the vet when we thought something was wrong and gave him the medicine they prescribed. He had an exceptional quality of life given his various ailments. In the end he died at 10 years old which is actually quite a good age for his breed. I love Choco and always will. I would however encourage people considering this breed to think about getting a mutt. They are far longer lived and will suffer less genetic issues that affect their quality of life. Rest in peace Choco.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing you're experience ❤️
i have 2 dogs
One is deaf , blind , and her back legs dont work
Theyare so cute together
and they are big sweet babies
When my cavalier goes to the vet, all the other dogs come out and go straight to their owner, but when my cavalier comes out of the vet, she just goes to every dog owner at the vet 😂😂😂
my dog would sell me out to home invader if he gets his affection
Cavilers are amazing!
this video pretty much described my dog perfect lol. She is honestly my favorite part of my day and always wants to play or cuddle or sleep hahaha! Her name is stella and shes a princess we dont spoil her tooooo much but she is the perfect amount of brat and behaved. She loves to walk and she is honestly knows to be the sweetest dog when people meet her. My mom rescued her 3 years ago and i wish anyone interested in the breed could meet her.
My Cavalier Prince Jack is the best dog I have ever owned. He has had some common medical issues (luxating patella) and a few bad teeth but we have worked through those issues. He is a loving gentle soul who wants to please. Great with other dogs and loves attention from children.
Yea get CAVALIERS
He sounds wonderful :)
Cavaliers are so cute and sweet! They are always by your side, and when you are sad they always comfort you! Great breed!
We love them!
@@willathertonspanielshow6381 who doesn’t? 😀
My Jelly lived to age 10, and I was completely broken hearted when she died. My goal was to get her to her tenth birthday, so I was happy about that. She was absolutely the sweetest dog we’ve ever had. She’d just sit on my chest and stare into my eyes like she was saying “I love you more than anything”. She had heart problems and suffered from bouts of syncope where she’d faint. It was scary for her and for us! I’ve never spent so much at the vet as I did on Jelly. It’s like buying a car, but you’ll be left with only love and great sweet memories.
I have 2 and I will never get any other breed. Best dogs ever
i have had cavalier for 11 years, my oldest dog recently passed away at 11 years old, was so sad for a long time, but greatful for those 11 years i spent with him, i have his son left,he is 4 years old. only going to have cavalier in my life.
and i´m home with him all day, he is never alone. i´m so close to him.
I lost the last husky of my pack recently. I wanted another dog but something totally opposite so I'd never compare them. Also wanted a breed I'd be able to enrich and exersise fully all its life (not as young as I used to be). Guess what breed I'm on a puppy list for 😂 The cav life awaits 🙌🏻
Any update? How is it with your cavalier?
update? I have a husky but I'm looking for a companion dog who is lazier and more cuddly
They are so sweet. My girl didn't bark at all for the first year, when she did bark (baby yoda on the Mandalorian) we were so surprised 😮. Such a great breed, but certianly needs attention and is my shadow (which is perfect for me).
Ha! It sounds like you have a great dog and it's good she fit perfectly for what you were looking for
I'm laughing so hard at when she found her voice 😂
@@evilherbivore13 I know! It was the best! Since then we tested it out with other things (dragons on game of tones she doesn't bark at but Yoda from the original star wars she does bark at... something about those Jedis... perhaps she is secretly sith 😳)
That's hilarious. My Cavvie Ollie used to bark at cartoons, but never live action
5 reasons I love this breed. We are expecting our 2nd one soon. They are perfect for retired folks.
I am Penny
A 1 year old Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
1. I have lot of energy and go on hikes from 1 to 10 miles too.
2. I am very good with recall and almost walks on off leash
3. Yes i need regular brushing and gets wet easily but not difficult
Great video! You perfectly described my daughter’s two Cavaliers! I love them so very much and it hurts my heart to see how as their family added children and other pets these poor , sweet dogs are not the fit they once were. They are bred to be a companion , a person in a dogs body essentially, and wear their hearts on their sleeves! Jake looks you in the face and instead of just barking, you can see he tries so very hard to form words to talk with you💖Thank you for your video I hope it makes people think long and hard before committing to Cavalier! My absolute favorite breed❣️
Love ours, had her for a week. Never left alone, even quite happily goes on the bus with us on the school run. As we are an older couple in our late 50's her pace is great with us when walking, also she is quite happy to play with our Grandchildren who live with us full-time. I had never thought of having a Cavalier before, as I have always had Springers until our last one died last year ,but our new Cavalier is a nice change of size and pace.
Fenrir is absolutely spot on these points. I love my cav, the best dog I have ever met. Please choose your dog carefully and both you and your dog will be happy!
Over the last month theres been 4 families that have gotten one of these. And they ALL go to the same coffee shop as me and are all super excited when i show up cause... omg 4 of these things as puppies will absolutely melt your heart! They are my best friends and i hope to get one soon!!!
Wonderful affectionate sweet and with obedience training and reinforcement, excellent behavior. They love everyone. Yes,they want you with them and I love that about them. They come with manners. Can't get enough of this fabulous breed
Every cav I've ever had, has had no problem getting along with cats inside the home. (Hamsters too)
I agree with some of what you said but mine has a few different things then you said, I love my king Charles so much, I look forward to seeing more of you x
Love the vid! A lot of people will get a dog just based on how it looks without thinking about the breed's typical needs and tendencies. I'm really trying to do my research before committing to a cav, so thank you for helping me on that information-gathering journey.
Just remember all dogs are individuals! I have a VERY active, athletic cavalier who wants NOTHING more than to play fetch until he passes out. He's four and I thought he'd get over it but his ball is life.
These are the beat dogs ever! My dog, (who is also my profile photo) is just the best. Another one of my family members didn't even want a dog, but they instantly fell in love with out cavalier! I love this breed.
Number 5 totally false for my caviler. He'll play fetch all day
It definitely varies dog to dog!
My cavalier will run like a wild woman after the ball but never brings it back 😂
And my cavalier is fine with my 2 cats they all sit together on the stairs and sometimes he follows them around! Also they are gentle with kids.
Pretty good assessment. I have three CAVALIERS and they can be needy. You have to want a Velcro dog if you want one of these dogs. My wife and I brush them out on a near daily basis. It takes time. However, it is a bonding time with them as well.
This just makes me want one more, great info!
We have a Cavalier King Charles. I’m not sure when it started, but he is constantly on the hunt for light reflections. He goes absolutely crazy over them
OMG I have one obsessed with chasing shadows. Hilarious I never knew that was a Cavalier thing.
Always had larger breed dogs. After waiting a while after one of mine passed my wife and I saw a rescue from a puppy mill. We made the decision to adopt her and my god. Never have I had such a devoted dog. I’m besotted. I’m her person and she adores me and our staffy. She’s super affectionate and she’s so beautiful. We have occasional accidents in the house due to her being caged but we’re slowly getting there. If it suits your lifestyle as Will says, they are just perfect.
My cavi Annie who passed away in early April was the sweetest, most gentle dog there was. She never had any heart problems, either.
She was good with peoples cats, and my bearded dragon (just let him walk all over her,). And she and my boy Benny (Cavalier x Maltese x Bichon) got along so well ever since I brought her home a year after him. She loved for 11 years- not nearly enough time for me, I’d choose forever if I could.
Dogs are just perfect.
He is only giving you the down side to the breed . it sounds the perfect breed for me .
We do love them too!
I totally agree with you Margret ,I think they are lovely, although I am disabled and a wheelchair user I am thinking about getting getting one , the only thing is I HAVE TO go out for a HOSPITAL appointments sometimes or there " may" come a time when I have to stay in as a patient , posting from London ENGLAND
I FORGOT to say that message was for MARGARET DREW
Can’t wait next summer, I am going to get a cavalier girl😍 right now I have a pomeranian❤️ hope they will be besties
I like the fact that Will is honest, he also did a show to give us the amazing qualities of same breed. I believe he is giving us all the information so that we can make a wise decision ! Thank you for all your hard work 😎
My dog will walk for hours! And equally sleep all day. Best dog I ever had ♥️♥️♥️
As mine did too. The most adorable moment: When going to bed and he/her curls on to you and makes that deep inhale and long sigh... in that moment it feels like there's nothing wrong in the world.
Find number 5 interesting as my pure bread cavalier and I have shared 3 to 5 mile hikes in the Sierra Nevada mountain range up to 11,000+ foot elevation every summer. We also walk our neighborhood each day 2 to 3 miles. Bentley never tires. ☺️
Thanks for this great run down on the pros and cons of the Cavalier. I've wanted one for years, but I never even considered grooming needs and costs. That could be a deal breaker for me. I'm a senior on a fixed income. Good video!
I’m rescuing one tomorrow (urgent rescue so didn’t know much about the breed) but wow this sounds like the perfect breed for my lifestyle! I can’t wait to give this little guy the best life!
I think these are helpful tips. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
I just got a 9 week girl and I love her shes so easy to train, loves calm walks, knows when to play and sleep. She’s my best smuggle buddy for tv and best bud for everything. You should get one!!!
I actually did she is 10 weeks but is getting impossible to potty training 🙁
I came here because i thought id hear about how theyre bratty, or wrecked with medical problems but honestly these still sound like an amazing dog for me!
Still very informative even though I’m not looking for a guard dog. I love it!
Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful and informative!
I have a cavalier she 8 years old she been most of her life in the kennel for breeding puppies I adopted her last year she so very nervous is this normal for this breed I won't to train her to walk on a lead we're do i start if she so scared of the lead could you gine me some advice please
I found your video because I am getting one today ❤ So excited!!!!
I think it's really important to know about their health risks and problems... It can be hard, but in my opinion it's much better to get sad right now instead of facing those problems on practice, which would be much harder. A good percentage of them might get syringomyelia, which makes their skull a bit small for their brains, and I think it also affects their spine... It brings them frequent pain and treatments not always work. Some Cavaliers had to die because of it. The signs of that disease are not always obvious either, sometimes it might be excessive head scratching, etc. And that's not the only disease they're likely to have...
yes. they have the perfect temperament but their serious health issues are the only reason I won't get one.
My one had a spine issue when she was 3 until 5 and is now 8 and healthier than ever
@@DVZZZZ that's really nice to hear...
I just know some stories where treatments didn't work, so... I thought I'd better let ppl know
Exactly I was looking for this problem and I couldn't find it anywhere.
It's an overbred type of dog that people should be encouraged NOT to get, until the overbreeding is sorted out.
I cannot believe there are still people saying you should make more of them and raise them.
@@DVZZZZ But if you'd taken a healthy breed, there would've beeen no issue.
Imagine if you had to create a new baby, you were allowed to pick the eyes, nose, everything. Just a human baby.
And God said; 'If you want, you can give it really deep, dark eyes and a cute facial expression.....but in return, it will suffer daily and needs nasty treatment and might have to get the skull sawed open at the back to be able to have a normal life.."
Would you then wholeheartedly say; 'Sure...no problem. I care more about those eyes."
Or would you feel guilty? Because if you change 'baby' to 'puppy' then here we are.
Thank u!! Its good to know the goor and the bad..The fact they're more quiet is the main reason why they're perfect for me! hahah
Thanks so much for watching, glad you found it helpful!
We picked up our Spaniel up from a local shelter... of the 50 dogs in the place barking, yipping, jumping and running... All the other families and kids were fighting over those pups. Meanwhile, when we saw her, she was sitting quietly, still, with those big sweet eyes, just looking at us. Love at first sight. 7 years ago. She's been more like having a house cat than a dog. Just laying and loving. Amazing companion for our now 3 year old. During apartment life she never made a sound, which was perfect. Never once woke the baby. :-) We've heard her bark 10 times in all those years. Not 10 outbursts... 10 individual barks. She wiggles and whines as soon as one of us comes home with that sweet smiling face.
Now I sit waiting to hear back from the vet to see if she has cancer or not. She's, at best guess, 9 years old at this point. :-( Sweet little thing.
I hope everything turned out okay :(
He's spot on with this. Reason #1 is absolutely correct. We could not leave our cav for more than 4-5 hours without her going off the rails. And our cav was an excellent guard dog, not quite barking at falling leaves, but would start barking when the mail carrier was a good 4-5 houses down the street and we could not hear anything. Literally a lap dog. Literally.
I've had 3 king charles. Our beautiful kizzy is gone to doggy heaven. Abby is 16 years old and bailey is our headcase 10month old. She is a nut job and never tired we got such a shock 🤣🤣🤣
Will this be ok with my Australian shepard/blue heeler mix dog? I'm wondering if while im asleep the bigger one might hurt this little guy. He has never hurt another animal and has been super gentle with the cat I had in the past so im thinking they will be ok. They are breed to be nice to little lambs and such.
I've had this bread before and they are certainly loving and do want attention. I think he made some excellent points as far as their nature goes. They WILL follow all around the house and seek for affection.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
We have a Black and Tan Cav x Labrador. He’s definitely more of a Cav though than his siblings. He’s absolutely the best puppy ever. Ideal for a family, he’s just so beautiful and fun, especially with the kids. They are a wonderful breed and highly recommended.
My 17 year oldKing Charles crossed over yesterday. I loved my experience.
Thanks for this video. I am a cavalier owner of 9 years and looking to get a second. Your number one reason for not getting a KC cavalier is so important. They absolutely can NOT be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. If you have to leave a dog home all day every day while at work, please do not get a cavalier. It is painful for them to be alone. But on the other hand, they are easy to take with -- and other people are usually very happy to see them. If you get two or more you can leave them longer. I do not agree that they do not need exercise, though. They do -- not as much as a big dog, but remember they were bred to run along on the hunt as well as to be lap dogs. My cav walks between 2-4 miles a day and does very well on 6 mile hikes -- even at 9 yrs old. Cavs do better when they get enough exercise.
I’m a kid. I’m looking for a buddy. I live in a apartment. I think Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is ADORABLE. I hate walking. I want to teach my dog tricks. You convinced me to get one. It’s perfect for me. I love not shedding dogs. Playing with it will take meh off my iPad. I love having play dates and I want it to be a quiet dog, so that I don’t get any complaints by my neighbors (bc I live in a apartment) I am always at home. I do have a cat.... ITS NOT STOPPING MEH THO!!!!! I think the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is purrrrfect for me! And btw KEPP MAKING MORE CAVALIER KING CHARLES VIDOES!!! PLEASE
*goes to shelter and buys a Cavalier*
Thanks so much for watching! Hope everything goes well in your hunt for a King Charles Spaniel!
@@willathertonspanielshow6381 thank you for making this video. I tried some quizzes from you quiz page
I have 2 cats and a spaniel and they get on very well. The only thing with these dogs is the snoring!
@@suziesmith8288 Thanks for the Information I got a HALF
KC Half Cockerspaniel
Our cavalier loves to go play, loves her 5 mile walks and outruns our 1 year old Golden all the time! The most loving dog I’ve had. She changed my perspective on small dogs forever! Truly one of a kind type of breed
He. I clicked on your quiz link below, mate. . It took me to a shop. Try as imight I couldn’t find a quiz
I have been a Cav Dad for 15 years. I have had the privelege of having 6 CKCS in my life. This video misses the BIGGEST downfall of Cavs... very common health issues. Vet bills can result is thousands over the course of their life due to typical genetic issues like congenial heart failure. I will say my furkids have been worth every dollar. Their companionship and love is priceless.
Have they all had health issues?
This is why I'll never own one again. I rescued one and after researching them- they need to stop being bred. It's cruel. Their adorable faces and small head shapes that they've been bred to have- have created a skull that is literally too small to hold their brains. This causes them to have a disease that is very common for the breed and very painful for them. This one thing alone turned me off to the breed which of course is not their fault. But it's awful that they have health problems because we want them to look a certain way.
@@kylemcpureblood Over 30% have congenital heart problems. I would find it very difficult to own a CKCS knowing the inbred problems. That said, they are without a doubt the most adorable and loveable dogs.
I have one and they are GREAT dogs there smart and you don’t have to groom them that much just after a bath brush them. My dog is not that sleepy and likes to go outside a lot they are just wonderful dogs! ❤️❤️
Dude what you described is Litterialy what I need
both of my boys are pure bread, follow commands, and are incredibly energetic. I WILL SAY they are awful off leash tho lol NOT an option for mine lol
My guy is a 1.5yr old, first time having a Cavalier - he is the absolute best. Constant ear cleaning/grooming is the only issue I've had. One thing I don't believe was mentioned was the breeds propensity for heart issues. Was the first thing my vet brought up
I have to say this was a fair and honest video. You hit all the high points. But once you realize they are one of the cutest puppies you've ever seen, and they become your absolute best friend upon eye contact, if you give this breed any serious consideration and meet one, you'll find that love sponge in you lap soon, And you will never regret that decision. I have two and would gladly have a third. They are a happy, fun, playful breed, who live to please you, even when you catch them being naughty.
Sounds like my perfect dog!
Very very good. Any advice how to acquire one?
Ok now I’m glad it’s not just my cavalier 😅 I love this breed to no end
For small children would you recommend the cavalier King Charles or Boston terrier?
The best dogs in the world.
Amazing with kids.
Such cuddlers
But would run a long beach.
LOVE to hear their own voice.
Absolutely will never get another breed.
We have been besotted with this breed for over a decade but I just have to say well done on this video! You have hit the breed on the head! They aren’t a low maintenance breed and the comment about roads is soooo true! On lead at all times because they are sooo nosey and think everyone will love them 🤦🏻♀️😂❤️
Thanks for the information. They are such a beautiful dog. My friend had one years ago i've always wanted one. Your advice is exactly why I don't have one right now. But I plan on retiring in the next few years. This is when I hope to have a king cavalier. I love to groom my pets. I'm a very hands-on pet owner. So taking care of them is never a problem.
I just purchased one a blue mural coat so beautiful and such a loving and chill breed
I have four Cavaliers! Our family LOVES the breed!! They are definitely addictive!!
I love my Cav .I have a broken knee and am in a brace and he refuses to let me go down the steps by myself and limps down with me. .so sweet
my mom has a king charles and he wants nothing more than to insert his teeth into the guy that rents are carriage house which he has done before probably cause he is always walking through the backyard it doesnt help that the dog is deaf as well and when we let him out he sprints to the carriage house and barks at his door lol. We did rescue him from a breeder where he spent most of his previous life in a cage and he's deaf so training is difficult.
What if I'm a university student? I want a king charles for its chill and loving nature but I'm on average, not home for, say, safe to assume at least 4~6 hours a day.
Im already committed to getting one lmao but I am here to learn. Im so excited to meet my puppy in 2 weeks ♥️♥️♥️♥️ (My whole family has cavaliers, we love them)
I've had my cavalier for 3 years now & he is the absolute best dog ever. I have to say from experience that your first point is not true. My cavalier is neutered & 3 years old & he has a crazy high energy level. We go on 4 mile runs together a few times a week & he runs so fast that he pulls me. I would say an accurate statement is that they can adapt to any energy level. My cavie is 18lbs for reference. He is perfect for my travel & apartment living.
Very accurate summary
I really appreciate videos like this. Cavs are great but as with all breeds, they have traits that don't suit everyone.
I have two cavaliers, one is a bit neurotic with weird habits and howling. They both are literally the sweetest dogs ever. I'm very fond of this breed after having mine 7 years.
You say we shouldn't get a dog if we will be gone a while so like if I work 8am to 4pm I shouldn't get this dog ? Or if I got two would that be okay then since they'll have each other until I get off work ?
We have a video on one of our other channels looking at the best guard dogs for full-time workers: ua-cam.com/video/tkpyuPizz6M/v-deo.html
Your voice is amazing.
Reason 1, that they don't need a lot of walking, is just as much a positive as a negative. Depends on your life style.
I had one but I had to put it down and they are really good I understand the range
You are awesome!! Spaniels are incredible and you share an enormous amount of information, thank you! 💕 video suggestion: spaniels vs all other breeds. Like for those looking at Golden retrievers or chihuahua. What traits about spaniels set them apart from all other groups of dogs.
Thanks for watching and the ideas for future videos!
The Cavalier king Charles spaniel are so loving and friendly they give you so much love..💗
